  Djambossa is great. We used to go see them at Sole all the time before we moved to Houston. My wife used to work with Dean and he is a good friend of ours as well. If you've never seen...
• Commented on Boom Days 2013
  Does it really matter if a profit is made? It doesn't appear that you have to pay to get into the event. I am sure that the bands and such have to be paid, perhaps some of that money goes...
• Commented on First Ward Marches Forward
  So I picked up the e-book after I got home from work last night and am a few chapters in. It's a great read, I am really enjoying the book so far. I can certainly tell the author must have...

• Commented on "Old Neighborhood" parade rivals Sunday parade in size for the first time
  This is one of the things I miss about living in South Buffalo the most. South Buffalo is different than most communities, especially for the parade. On this day people open their homes up to everyone (including strangers) to come...
• Commented on Brick Oven Bistro & Deli
  Glad to see a thriving business in this building. It sat empty for a while after the grocery store moved out. I am glad to see that South Buffalo businesses are prospering. We will defintely be checking it out on...
• Commented on Cobblestone District Growing- Club Planned for Illinois Street
  Unfortnately I think that Sole was a better fit in Williamsville. We used to go there for food, drinks and to see Djambossa play pretty frequently and it was always a packed house when it was in the Walker Plaza....
• Commented on The Future of Ohio Street - Buffalo River community
  Thanks for the update. Too bad to hear, the plans looked like it would be a great addition to an area waiting to bust with redevelopment....
• Commented on The Future of Ohio Street - Buffalo River community
  When I led Old First Ward Tours we always stopped at the E.B. Holmes Building, set to be "The Cooperage" and owner/architect Clinton Brown told of the history of the building and its future plans. Does anyone know where this...
• Commented on Feed the City
  Thanks for the insight benfranklin - I have in fact heard that song but didn't know who sang it. Kind of like a Beatles sound...never been my thing. Great event for the city though, I hope that it continues to...
• Commented on BRO Gift Guide: Buffalo-Opoly
  Very cool!...
• Commented on Feed the City
  I'm 36 so I wouldn't say I am young and I'm pretty musically knowledgeable, I've just never heard of them, what genre of music is it?...
• Commented on Feed the City
  Can't say I've ever heard of "Mott the Hoopie" or Ian Hunter....
• Commented on Then and Now: Buffalo City Hall, Black is Black
  They cleaned the outside, now the need to a mass cleaning on the inside, it's been far too long since the garbage that has been in the offices there has been taken out to the curb....
• Commented on Buffalo gets Beaches
  At least in Texas there are good jobs and good schools. Yes it is hot for a few months but it's better than being broke in Buffalo....
• Commented on Buffalo gets Beaches
  I could if I renewed my certification. Unfortunately it doesn't pay well enough. I think the new projects are great but there is still the problem of no jobs being created in Buffalo. I really think the region needs to...
• Commented on Buffalo gets Beaches
  So how many good paying jobs is this creating?...
• Commented on Construction Watch: Inner Harbor
  Any calculations on how many good paying jobs these developments are going to be creating for the City of Buffalo?...
• Commented on Preservation: A Discussion Worth Having
  Knock down the freight house asap. Make a public announcement about it and invite the public to witness Buffalo moving forward. Make sure the preservationists have front row seats. Progress, Not Regress!...

• Commented on Erie Freight House - An Alternative View
  I agree with you there! Doesn't seem like all the facts are out in the open....that's not surprising though, Buffalo runs on underhanded late night deals every day. Sounds like the "group" has it's own motivations that it isn't sharing....
• Commented on Erie Freight House - An Alternative View
  Any updates on "The Cooperage"??? People are talking about mixed use properties and Clinton Brown's plans for the building is to include mixed use on the bottom levels and have lofts on the upper levels. See www.riverloftsbuffalo.com. That would bring...

• Commented on The Erie Freight House and other thoughts
  Buffalo seems to be against progress, this project doesn't stand a snowballs chance in hell unless the current administration is ousted and the Preservationists are hog tied and gagged until the project is complete....
• Commented on Buffalo Bills: Time For Super Mario To Earn That Check
  I don't really think you can put all the blame on Mario Williams. You can't expect one really good player to come in and change the outcome of an entirely mediocre defense. He is one player not an entire defense,...
